Beautiful page!
Always love watching you play! I like the way you used the stamp to create an all-over pattern … looks so cool in the house stencil.
A GREAT background. LOVE the choices you made here Carolyn.

Wonderful art!!Thanks for the video and I get my gelli plate out and give this a try.

Love these layers of blue with the accent of yellow and the way you integrated the rubber stamps! Outstanding!
Well, I have to say first ….WOW!!! I have had the desire to get into mixed media and am fortunate to have found you via this blog hop! Loved your video and teaching style so much that I am now a follower of your blog and youtube channel!!! Looking forward to catching up on all your previous posts and videos!
I love this page. It’s simple but very cool. I love the use of the gelli prints. I have amassed a pile of them and needed ideas for ways to use them. Thank you!
And thanks for the chance to win some new supplies…being unemployed has put a crimp in my ability to sample new products.
Love the color and all the layers
Thanks
Such a fun and fabulous creation! It’s been fun blog hop with you!
Stamps and stencils are like peanut butter and jelly
You always stretch my learning of art and I am enjoying every minute of it. You put all of those (gelli, stencil, stamps) together into a beautiful painting. I am loving all the new supplies and creativity I am able to come up with. This week it was Zentangles for me. Blessings, Janet PPF
and thanks for adding the video to your blog. I love watching you work!
Carolyn, your videos and your work, always make me smile. And I love this because I love your houses and train station etc.
I have a question. I get that you never, well perhaps I should say rarely, go up and down when putting the paint on the stencil. BUT, if you are not going to go up and down, I am interested in why sometimes you use a brush and other times you may not. Is it just what you reach for???
Also, why a stabilio pencil? I know what it is, but do you think it works better here or???
You know, you like color. But I ask questions. Inquiring minds want to KNOW.
Great job.
Tommy
Hi Tommy,
Brushes cover a lot of area quickly and I have patience issues. I also love love love when paint runs under a stencil. Brushes give a different look than sponges and allow for wetter mixing of colors that sponges have for me. That said, I like sponges too – they give a different look than brushes for me.
Stabilo pencils write over anything with a nice dark line. It is one of my favorites.
Hope that helps!
Such lovely colours! Your projects are always inspiring! 🙂
You are a hoot! Your vids are so fun to watch!
Love the colors! Neat idea for a page.

This blog hop is great. Thank you for participating. We’ve seen stamped images as the focal point of a mixed media project and now a stencil image. Awesome. I tend to use both as background in my mixed media but will be re-thinking that in the future.

Gelli Prints are made with a Gelli Plate, which is a form of monprinting- a fun and playful way to play. I have a bunch of Gelli Printing videos at https://acolorfuljourney.com/?page_id=6439 to give you an idea about what it is. There is a link at the top of that page to where I buy them. I also have a bunch more Gelli videos on YouTube. Hope that helps!
Loved your 1700’s video. You put a lot of work into your work (LOL) to make the process do-able for us beginners. I am so glad I found you!
